Clinical assessment scores worksheet with answers

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient’s blood pressure is 143/60 mmHg. Find the mean arterial pressure MAP = (SBP + 2·DBP)/3, to the nearest whole mmHg.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). An adult weighs 74 kg and is 198 cm tall. Find the body mass index BMI = weight (kg)/height (m)². Round to one decimal place.

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance).
